Association view in Omnigator could show tables
In the Omnigator, clicking on an association name leads to a display of the
roles and of the individual topics filling those roles.
It would be more instructive (I think) if instead it showed a list of
instances of the association. For associations with few enough roles, in
topic maps with short enough names for things, the display could use an
HTML table. For cases where an HTML table would be too wide, I personally
would be perfectly happy with a Prolog-style view of the tuples (I'm
tempted to use Prolog-style quoting here, but I'll refrain):
kills_by(Il carpentiere, battering, L'Orco)
kills_by(Executioner, beheading, Prince of Persia)
...
kills_by(Canio, stabbing, Nedda)
kills_by(Dejanice, stabbing, Dardano)
kills_by(Dejanice, stabbing, Dejanice)
kills_by(Gloria, stabbing, Gloria)
kills_by(Cio-cio-san, stabbing, Cio-cio-san)
kills_by(Canio, stabbing, Silvio)
...
Lars-Marius mentioned just now that he thought this would be very simple.
